    Opportunity for someone who knows their way around the repop busineness. Check out the thread on the other cars side of this board and go to Boatload of Fun and find long thread about the heavy rear used under the big cars. I realize that repoping anything takes volume orders and must therfore be for parts that are in demand!! IF these parts (ring and pinion)were available
    I would guess that the Buick group that is always looking for heavier rears, would quickly figure out a way to put them under the smaller cars. And the Big Car rears are cheap and plentiful at the yards and are tougher than anything else built by factory. I think that the inner or top center link anchor pts are very similar between the A car's and the big cars from 1971 on. Just need to be narrowed up in most cases. Any input would be appreciated, Us guys with the heavy cars need a way to gear down without putting a Ford under a GOOD car. Ha
